Convenient Services Enhance Efficiency and Order Accuracy

Sit-down restaurants are finding creative ways to balance excellent customer service with operational efficiency. One of the most impactful tools reshaping this balance is QR code ordering in sit-down restaurant environments. By combining convenience and efficiency, QR code ordering has become a valuable asset for sit-down restaurants aiming to meet evolving customer expectations while optimizing workflows and labor costs.

This reduces downtime and supports a seamless dining experience.

| Meeting Modern Consumer Needs: A Convenient Digital Gift Solution for Busy Shoppers Consider a customer like Emily, a busy professional who has little time to shop for holiday gifts. While eating takeout from her favorite restaurant, she notices a QR code printed on the bag that promotes purchase of a Masa+ digital gift card, also called an eGift Card. Knowing her colleague loves dining out, she scans the QR code with her phone, buys the gift card and, within minutes, sends it directly to her colleague’s phone via SMS. The entire process takes her only a few minutes—no need to visit a store or even look up the restaurant’s website online. |  |
